Day 106 / 108 Challenge

#106

"I bow to be thankful for all of the good and beautiful things in my life."

Life is finally peaceful again, and partially I think it is because of how my mindset is wired now. After the mind awakening moments over the weekend, my mind is finally at peace. If I look back at today, life still threw me curve balls, but I kept calm and dealt with the chaos. Because no matter what happens, the absolute truth does not change. It is there, and will be there, like it always has. Just like waves come and go, but they had been the water the entire time.

See Day 104 journal if you want more.

One thing I wanted to note today was, "make today count." This does not mean that we should fill our day with activities and lose sleep over them. It means that we should be aware of WHAT we are doing each day. Make sure we are clear on WHY we are doing WHAT each day. Be mindful. Every action we take must be with a purpose.

I came to another realization that life can be seen as boring, but if we have a routine to achieve various goals in life, "boring" life is good. Never confuse the calmness in life from purposeful routine with being boring or not making any progress.
